Hello! I’m Jay, a Freelance Graphic Designer based in Columbia, MD.

My name is Jay Lautner – a professional, qualified graphic designer who specializes in multiple areas of design. These predominantly include web design, branding, video production, and digital design. When my time isn’t occupied by my one-year old Akita, I love creating digital marketing materials – not only for clients but as a personal creative outlet to share my work with others. I’m extremely passionate about what I do and strive to forward the knowledge of my experiences to the next wave of young designers.

My portfolio is more than just a portfolio

For me, graphic design is more than just a creative outlet. It’s an opportunity to measure my growth and educate others along the way.

Design is all about visual communication – communicating a visual message. It’s a tool that helps you attract new consumers to your business. It not only showcases your product or service but shows the general public just how reputable your company really is.

My goal is to convey a message for the clients and businesses I work for, so they can visually represent their products and services as accurately as possible to their target demographic.

“It was a pleasure working with Jay for our logo and letterhead. He carefully evaluated our needs in a very organized and professional manner. Eventually, after multiple small steps and daily emails he delivered EXACTLY what we wanted. He is a talented graphic designer and we plan on using his services again.”

“We don’t have the internal capacity to make the designs we imagined a reality. What you helped to create is really in line with how we want to be understood and perceived. You do beautiful work and make the process easy. You are fun and easy to work with.”
